Need a router which has the maximum range
I am currently facing the issue of WIFI signal. We are living in a joint family in a big house where almost 12 cellphones and laptop combined connected to the same wifi. although I didn't face the speed issue much but the signal issue is getting more and more common. All the family members have to set in the drawing room to access the wifi because the signal didn't reach their rooms. it not only disturb the privacy but also cause multiple issues. Kindly suggest me a wide range covering router.
Thank you for reading this Sir.

How big is the home?
Reason I ask is routers have maxed out their broadcast strength for quite some time. Reason is is because the wireless antenna broadcast strength is set by the FCC. Some devices might have a little more distance but its because they're a little more efficient.
If you're needing more coverage, I'd recommend moving to a triband mesh system to provide you additional coverage.
